Pathos is her undertone
As a classic drama, "Do You Know" is of course not only the plot, but also the characterization.
Each character is flesh and blood, has a place to come and a way back, and none of them exist flat to advance the plot.
For example, because the eldest lady is simple-minded and straight-minded, she will be picked up by her sister and poisoned the old lady; Sheng Hong is selfish and values the interests of the family, so he deals with the people and things that affect the family, and he deals with them mercilessly.
Although every character is worth pondering, the one I want to write about first is Xiao Qin, this ill-fated and trapped lady of the sky.
If you give Xiao Qin one word as a summary of his life, it is: pathos.
Her tragedy was caused by four sides, and she was powerless to fight against each of them
On the one hand, there is her sister, a woman who made Xiao Qin's miserable pit. Xiao Qin also said in the end that her eldest sister is by no means a good match, her body is weak and difficult to give birth; is jealous, not good at housekeeping, selfish, and does not serve his in-laws. And spread these bad reputations all over the city.
Mama Kong said that the sisters of the family are both prosperous and loss-oriented. But looking at the style of the Da Qin clan, it is obvious that he only cares about his own comfort, and he has not considered his sister at all.
We see that Hua Lan still has to swallow her anger in the Earl's Mansion with ten miles of red makeup, is it true that she is smart and transparent, and she can't fight her mother-in-law? The bigger reason should be that she still cares about the reputation of her sisters at home.
The reputation of the daughter of the Qin family was ruined by the Great Qin Clan, and the Little Qin Clan was deeply affected, such a good girl, she was dragged out of her marriage.
On the other hand, it is his brother-in-law, that is, the old Gu Hou Gu Yankai. His problem is that since he loves and indulges the Great Qin Clan, he allows her to do a series of outrageous things, and spreads the news of her poor housekeeping all over the city.
Moreover, after marrying the Da Qin clan, he married the Bai clan, and later married the Xiao Qin clan. No matter how you look at it, he is a scumbag who can't shirk his responsibility. Since you love the Great Qin Clan, then you love it to the end, why should you be greedy for the money of the Bai family and leave the Great Qin Clan to marry the Bai Clan.
Since he married the Bai family and filled his own pit, why not treat it well, after killing the Bai family, he married Xiao Qin.
Since you don't love Xiao Qin, why do you want to marry again, why don't you treat you well even if you marry?
Looking back, he didn't treat his three daughters-in-law well. This is also another important reason for the tragedy of Xiao Qin.
The third reason is her brother and sister-in-law. I don't think about brotherhood at all, and treat her as a commodity. In order not to lose the honor guard of the Hou Mansion, she chose the most cost-effective way to let her enter the Hou Mansion as a stepfamily, and she didn't even give her a little dowry. It is undoubtedly another heavy blow to Xiao Qin's life.
The last reason is herself. She is talented, so she is not willing to be mediocre and does not want to bow to fate. It was originally very inspirational, but unfortunately, she used the wrong method, which led to her path of no return. became a pitiful and hateful character.
At that time, most women could not control their own fate, and in a patriarchal society, when encountering grievances and injustices, women's practices were basically submissive, enduring humiliation and stealing their lives.
But why didn't Xiao Qin's family accept fate's arrangement? Because she is strong, she is not an ordinary woman. She has talent, brains, and means. With a lot of ability, how can you be submissive, how can you not fight against fate?
No reputation? Then make a name for yourself
Xiao Qin's badness is traceable, but it is silent. She spoke softly on the surface, pretending to be a living bodhisattva in front of and behind, but in fact, it was very likely that she wanted to fight for breath. It is rumored in Bianjing City that his sister is not good at running a family and is not a good match. Then she wants to be a good housekeeper and let the wisdom spread all over the capital.
Hou Ye was angry, she coaxed, and she was carrying around in the fourth and fifth rooms. Even to eradicate Gu Tingye, he used the most roundabout method, and it took more than ten years to complete the killing.
I don't believe that with Xiao Qin's IQ, there will be no easier and faster way to get rid of Gu Tingye, who is still a child. Why do you have to go to great lengths to kill? It's because she wants fame, a reputation for being virtuous and virtuous.
It turns out that she did it, whether it was the Gu family or the capital, they were deceived by her appearance.
Don't have a chance to raid the lord? Then create your own opportunities.
Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans for it" This sentence runs through the entire "Know". As a mother, Xiao Qin's family naturally planned for her son.
The three sons of the Gu family are all sons-in-law, and from the perspective of the Xiao Qin family, her son is the most suitable for the lord. The boss is not in good health, and his life span is not long, even if he attacks the knight, he will not last a few years. The second child has both civil and military skills, and has excellent intelligence, even if he is placed in any place, he will be mixed up.
is the only one who is the third child, who can't write or write, can't do martial arts, has a simple mind, and is idle. How would such a child survive without a title?
But her son was the youngest, the furthest from the title. If you want to attack the lord, you must first remove the two big ones, otherwise, you won't be able to take your turn.
didn't expect Gu Tingye to be a fuel-efficient lamp, and marrying a daughter-in-law was even more powerful, and he didn't develop according to his expectations at all. deliberately harmed a group of people, but still didn't get what he wanted. One wrong step, one wrong step, and in the end, you lose the whole game.
5. Write at the end
Her tragedy seems complicated, but in fact it is simple, it is a tragedy caused by the times, a tragedy caused by the dregs of feudal society.
It's just that she was born at the wrong time, and fate makes people. Such a talent is also trapped in this boxy inner house, fighting to the death for the sake of heirs and hatred. If she was born in today's society, she would definitely be able to break new ground with her intelligence and courage. In the field dominated by men, show their own skills to achieve achievements, shine and shine.
Injustice will lead to grievances, grievances will be unwilling, unwilling to prompt people to go astray, and wrong direction is doomed to a tragic end. The pot that the times press on women, even if they have the ability to do something like Xiao Qin's, they can't stand it, and they can't shake it off....
People draw lines.
